South East Assembly Members Want IPOB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu Back In Jail (See Details)

A group of indigenes from the South East under the auspices "South East Peoples Assembly", have called for the revocation of the bail granted to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB, Nnadi Kanu, by a Federal High court in Abuja last month. The group made the call in a letter sent to the Chief Judge of the high court, Justice Ibrahim Auta.The letter was signed and released by its President, Prince Chukwuemeka Okorie. The group in the statement said Kanu has in recent times flouted the conditions of his bail, one of which is that he must not address rallies, grant interviews or be in a crowd of more than 10 people. Part of the statement reads

Quote

“Obviously, the recklessness with which he made media statements and even organised the ‘Sit at Home and Stay Indoor’ protest to mark the so called BIAFRA HEROS DAY on Tuesday, 30th May, 2017 is a threat to the unity, security and peace of Nigeria as a sovereign nation. We have no iota of doubt that he is trying to push our dear country Nigeria into an unnecessary precarious situation for his personal agenda and those of his paymasters. Sir, our decision to write this demand letter to your good office at this time is to forestall another civil unrest in Nigeria, particularly around the Igbo speaking region. As you well know, the struggle by Kanu to be relevant under the guise of actualisation of Biafra does not enjoy the support of right thinking Igbo people both at home and in diaspora. That he suddenly addresses himself as the Supreme Leader of Biafra points to how arrogant and disrespectful he is to legitimately constituted authority in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The pertinent question on our minds as stakeholders is: Has Kanu been consistent in providing the court with reports on the progress of his health and treatment on a monthly basis since he was granted bail? We fear that if Kanu is not tamed by Your Lordship as a matter of urgency, the IPOB may create a situation where it becomes difficult if not impossible for genuine development to take place in the South East under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR. History has taught us that the Civil War of 1967-1970 started gradually and later turned out to be something that caused our people unimaginable losses. “We cannot afford to fold our arms this time and allow a stooge imported from the United Kingdom by stark enemies of Nigeria to maintain a state of belligerence against the nation and keep the name of Igbo people in the news for the wrong reasons. At the SEPA, our very mission is that we believe in the truth and can on the strength of this declare that the temporary freedom being enjoyed by Kanu has been abused. Therefore, we join the other patriotic Nigerians in urging Your Lordship to consider adopting the appropriate procedure to ensure that Kanu’s bail is revoked within the next 7 (Seven) working days.It may interest you to know that the whole world is watching how you have been faring to reposition the Federal High Court on the path of excellence and restore her lost glory”.

Now some sensible and reasonable people are talking. The ppl instigating or betting the drum of war are those that have their family abroad . IPOB tell leader nobody is above the law You guys need to start thinking.

I think this man wants power and not what the Igbos are thinking. When I first had about the sit at home thing, I felt he wants to use it to test run his level of influence on the igbo community. Pictures of young igbo boys bowing before him is just ridiculous. The real igbo men i know don't bow to anyone because it's not in their culture. If this ugly trend continues, the legacy of their fore Fathers will be threatened. I don't think there were picures where Ojukwu watched anyone bowing to him because he understands what the igbo nation stands for. An average igbo man is a proud man. It's a legacy that has made them different. If Kanu really wants to liberate his people from political marginalization, he must do it the right way and it begins with him.

This is an Hausa man write up....You imbecile that reason from your anus

These ppl agitating for realisation of Biafra are simply jokers,the best they could ever get is cheap popularity.they think the government have time for their pettiness?the issues before the government is so enormous that they didn't even give KANU a second thought, why do you think they let him go,do u think if Buhari has any special interest in him,he'll let him go?even if they're in possession of nuclear weapon.those boys fail to see the reality on ground,over 70% of ibo ppl don't give a damn abt ur so called Biafra, why bcos these guys are doing very well where ever they are outside ibo land,do u think these ppl wld abandon their fortunes and go to a republic of Biafra to start afresh?Do these ppl realise the number of IBO billionaires and multimillionaires scattered across Lagos with mighty mansions inside the best estates in Lagos.go to lekki,victoria island,ikoyi and all the best estates on the Lagos mainland.what about Abuja,Kaduna,kano,Ilorin,Ibadan even Maiduguri, these ppl refuse to leave despite the threat of Boko Haram.KANU and his cohorts didn't think that all these properties wild be forfeited to Nigeria bcos we'll deport all of them without taking a pin. are they ready to forfeit these properties. personally, I'll be very happy if they leave bcos that wld be total riddance of bad rubbish and the beginning of a prosperous Nigeria.
